Bottle, 6%. Cloudy amber colour. The flavour starts off spicy, and then turns bready. Medium bitterness, pleasant carbonation. A subtle beer, but it goes down well.

Bottle at Chris_O bottlefest 2007. Amber colour with lasting beige head. Sweetish barley sugar. Overly carbonated. Really too sweet in mouth and I can’t believe I rated it so highly given my comments.

Foxy-amber beer with a small, amber-beige head. Very caramelly nose, even toffee. Brown sugar, and a touch of lactic. Sweet with an edge. Sweet taste. Flavour & retronasal aromas lean completely towards chocolate, sweetened cacao, with a strange fruity edge. There’s still some toffee, retronasal again. It’s really quite sweet, but avoids cloying. It’s weak point is that it gives too much of light, watery impression, not fulfilling its promises. Aftertaste give a (false?) impression of sourishness, but remaining completely fruity, like oranges. Very strange brew - this second try after several years is better than my original recall. Somehow, this seems to be a relatively simple ale, that wants to be an Oud Bruin, but missing the right ferments.
